At 6.28pm on a sunlit Manchester evening Tom Smith pushed a delivery into the covers off Ben Stokes and hared down the wicket to complete a single with Lancashire's last man Simon Kerrigan. He also won the game for his side. It was one of the finishes of this or any other season, not least because there were only two balls left in the contest
Looks like it could be a close finish in the Sky game tonight, think it could come down to James Taylor. If he's there at the end then Notts will surely have won, if he goes soon then you have to fancy Warks.

Lancashire needing 107 to beat Durham are 90/9:o
5 more to win......
Last wicket stand of 17
Phew
Still with a slight chance to beat the drop
Could be key if they can beat the weather

67 needed off 58 balls
Still think Notts will just about get there
Not looking likely
Reprieve for Shahzad
2 runs and a free hit
4 needed off the last
Another twist perhaps......
Somesets effort in vain now
Their last pair have added 34 so far in what will be a vain attempt
That just seems harsh on Notts
